"Life is a series of subtle -- and sometimes not subtle -- mistakes and errors as you go along, and fortunately that's where a lot of the biggest gains happen. It's in those failures."

James' adult life has been filled with one failure after another, and we start this episode with a string of bloopers just to make an (unintentional) point! We chat about our mistakes, living abroad, our podcasting journeys, authentic conversations and more!
